NEWS RELEASE Information: Info@Countryspiritusa.Com JANUARY 10, 2020 NEWS RELEASE Information: [email protected] JANUARY 10, 2020 Brantley Gilbert Joins Dierks Bentley and Chris Young to Headline Citadel Country Spirit USA 2020 -- Tier 2 Three-Day Passes on Sale Now -- CHESTER COUNTY, Pa. – Citadel Country Spirit’s three headliners have been announced. Country music superstar Brantley Gilbert joins Dierks Bentley to headline the third annual Citadel Country Spirit USA, a spectacular three-day country music festival coming to Chester County’s Brandywine Valley Aug. 28-30. The festival will again be held at Ludwig’s Corner Horse Show Grounds, located in the countryside of Philadelphia just minutes from the Pennsylvania Turnpike at the Downingtown West Chester exit. Brantley Gilbert, who made his bones as a professional songwriter, moved into the big leagues with his Just as I Am album in 2014 and has gained notoriety ever since. Distinguished by a new-fashioned style of traditional country, his music is rooted in the country-pop and arena music fusions of the ‘90s, receptive to sly, modern R&B as well as electronic flair. Recently, he followed up his No. 1 single, “What Happen in a Small Town,” with the release of “Fire’t Up” from his No. 1 album, Fire & Brimstone.

Hosted by the Chester County Conference & Visitors Bureau (CVB), approximately 20,000 fans from across the country attended the festival in August 2019. Citadel, one of the largest credit unions serving the Greater Philadelphia area, is the festival’s title sponsor for the third consecutive year.

  • Inside the Acms with RAC Clark Our Annual Interview with Exec
    April 18, 2016, Issue 495 Inside The ACMs With RAC Clark Our annual interview with Exec. Producer RAC Clark offers insight into the 51st ACM Awards (4/3) and many of its notable performances. CA: Let’s hit the numbers first and talk about this year’s ratings... RAC: They sucked. I’ll just say that. They sucked. [Ed. Note: 11.18 million viewers, 2.3 rating/7 share]. But it was one of the more competitive nights we’ve had since being up against the American Idol finale a few years back. The Walking Dead was big. The iHeart awards didn’t rate that well, really, so I don’t think that hurt us. The Walking Dead really got us and Steve Harvey’s Little Big Shots is a new hit on NBC that actually beat us in the second half-hour at 8pm. We won the night, but ratings were down year- to-year after a spectacular year in Dallas with the 50th. When we talked to producer Robert Deaton about the CMAs, he said, “I’ve never completely understood wanting to compare us against the AMAs, Grammys, ACMs or In A Big Way: EMI/Nashville’s Eric Paslay (third Oscars.” His point was, an awards show’s competition is from right) with (l-r) WEBG (Big 95.5)/Chicago’s Erik what it’s facing that night, not something that’s airing in Zachary and Mason, EMI’s Chris Fabiani and the an entirely different month.

  • Showcase Bios November 12 @ 8:00 P.M
    S nger Songwri ter SHOWCASE BIOS NOVEMBER 12 @ 8:00 P.M. CST Every Scooter Carusoe song is a beautiful ambush. His genius sneaks up on you: you’re humming along to a melody you can’t get out of your head long before you realize there are layers to unpack and lines worth serious study. Travis Hill “Scooter Carusoe” has lived and worked in the Nashville music community for two decades. He was a cofounder of independent music publisher Carnival Music and now writes for Endurance/BMG Music. Between publishing and song writing he has twenty plus number one songs to his credit and was nominated for the 2018 CMA song of the year with “Drunk Girl.” His songs have been performed on The Grammy’s, CMA’s, ACM’s and received multiple NSAI, ASCAP and SESAC awards. His works have been recorded by Kenny Chesney, Rascal Flatts, Eric Church, Lady Antebellum, Uncle Kracker, Dierks Bentley, Sugarland, Chris Janson, Brett Eldredge, Gary Allan, Jordan Davis, Montgomery Gentry, Pat Green, Chase Rice, Eli Young Band, Darius Rucker, David Nail and more. Today, the North Carolina-born, Knoxville, Tennessee-raised Hill lives in Nashville with his wife and two sons. Yes, Carusoe is a pen name, but his insistence on using it reveals a lot about who he really is stubborn and Scooter Carusoe inspiring, always fighting to keep the focus where it should be–the song. Marv Green, a Southern California native, moved to Nashville in March of 1993. Within 6 months, Marv’s songwriting caught the attention of producer Scott Hendricks, who signed Marv to a publishing deal with Big Tractor and Warner Chappell music.

  • Dierks Bentley's Seven Peaks Festival
    (9.4.18) - https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-country/dierks-bentleys-seven-peaks- festival-10-best-things-we-saw-718750/ Dierks Bentley’s Seven Peaks Festival: 10 Best Things We Saw From sets by Miranda Lambert and the festival host to the stunning scenery of Buena Vista, Colorado Labor Day weekend’s inaugural Seven Peaks Festival was all about the details. “Attention to details — that’s everything,” Dierks Bentley, the festival’s headliner and de facto presenting artist said Saturday afternoon while lounging in “Dudeville,” the backstage area for he and his band. “The devil’s in the details — isn’t that what they say? As a fan, you go to something like this and you notice things.” Bentley was on “detail detail” all weekend, as anyone who peeked at his Instagram could tell — he joined Clint Black and Brothers Osborne onstage, helped out with the Cadillac Three’s guitar setup, and even accompanied showgoers when the festival gates opened on Friday morning. “Everyone just walked in with us very calmly,” Bentley recalled. (He was on the move then, too: He spoke to Rolling Stone Country shortly before he hit the festival’s daily Somewhere on a Beach Party, a makeshift shore set up in the campgrounds and presided over by his DJ Aydamn.) “It was so surreal to have a thousand people behind me, just walking together. And they notice the way the path leads over this bridge — it’s pretty narrow, then it opens up, and then you see the Whiskey Row Stage, and the craft beers and the concessions, and the signage.” Three signs welcomed revelers to the grounds, placed in a way so they framed the mountains looming behind the festival site.

    December 8, 2008 Issue 119 True Confessions: Programming In A PPM World The diary era is coming to an end in 19 more markets in 2009 and 16 additional metros in 2010. If you’re a PD in one of those markets and haven’t yet started contemplating what’s coming, maybe you should. To that end, Arbitron’s Consultants Fly-In last week showed a video of interviews with several Philadelphia programmers including Beasley’s WXTU PD Bob McKay. Having the vantage point of working in the nation’s longest- running PPM market (current since March 2007), they offered several recommendations.
